The securities litigation law firm of Brower Piven, A Professional Corporation, has commenced an investigation into possible breaches of fiduciary duty to current shareholders of Idenix Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Under the terms of the transaction, shareholders of Idenix would receive $24.50 in cash for each share of Idenix they own. The firm’s investigation seeks to determine, among other things, whether the Company’s board of directors breached their fiduciary duties by failing to maximize shareholder value before agreeing to enter into this transaction, and whether Merck is underpaying for Idenix shares.
